Your Tarot Reading for the Week of July 7
Uranus moves into Gemini this week (for the first time since 1949) and we encounter a Full Moon in Capricorn. Both feel like a performance review from the Universe, a chance to audit where we're at, and create some stretching, personal goals for the future that build on successes, embrace collaboration, and make use of the latest tools and technology at our disposal. The Eight of Wands agrees with this plan and suggests asking folk for feedback as part of your personal audit. Be in and among colleagues, mentors, family or friends, ask people to be honest about what they think of you, your strengths, what they value most, what they'd do if they could hop in and 'drive you' for a month, and where they see you doing, being, and feeling your best. Feedback doesn't ALL have to be taken on board. But it sure is interesting. And you're definitely going to learn something new. Jump in!
The Knight of Wands belongs to you, he is your champion if you like, because he represents the Fire element. So, set him to work! His key traits are courage, adventurousness, confidence. He loves learning, traveling, exploring, experimenting. And he can also be rash, impulsive, a teeny bit arrogant, and cavalier. Use his presence to push on a restriction you feel thwarted by, try something daring and new, book a solo trip or event that only you long to do, or take a chance and apply for something you might worry is out of your league. If you lean on him, he will carry you, possibly to places you would never normally go!
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, often triggered by smell or sound, an old song maybe or the scent of perfume or even food. Something will trigger nostalgia for you this week, Taurus, and it will ignite a series of magical events that conspire to return something, or someone, to your life. This is like a spell or enchantment, woven by the Universe, just for you. The unseen forces are friendly and positive, they are trying to restore a broken bond or lost love that still merits a place in your realm. So let them do their work! Expect to be amazed.
You will take whatever life lands in your zone on the chin this week, and walk on with your head still held high, because Geminis are naturally regal! And, better yet, you will immediately look for silver linings and life lessons, because Geminis are naturally wise.Something may go awry or be lost to you. This is part of the story, this is the plot twist perhaps, the challenge that activates a new idea, opinion, direction or opportunity with you. One thing I know, being an old Gemini myself, is that when we are dealt a poor hand it actually fuels us to prove them ALL wrong and win the game, with flair too! So, so shock them all. Turn lemons into a lemonade empire!
It's a week of total and utter self-reflection and awareness. Who are you? What karma have you sown? What situations are you embroiled with? If someone secretly watched you for a whole week, what would they assume your purpose and goals were? Are you side-stepping what you ought to, and want to, be doing? Judgment pulls no punches. But this mini kind of Saturn Return energy is worthwhile. Face yourself, fully and unashamedly, and know who you are and where you are at, and what therefore you want to change, refocus on, amplify, stop, start, and support. This is a reality check.
We are inching closer to Leo season and already the vibes are swirling! The Three of Pentacles brings admiration, praise, and recognition. All of which is sweet music to your lion-y ears! Lean into this energy by collaborating, partnering, allying, and sharing. Start joint projects, shared ambitions. Enter competitions or challenges. Seek out a sounding board and creative partner for your work ideas or tasks. Everything can be bigger and better when you hook up with the right folk. And this week will bring them to you! Just sit back and watch that queue form for you!
Virgo, you are in danger of falling into the quicksand of the Seven of Cups which represents daydreaming without traction or action, wishing but not manifesting, hoping but not taking ownership. Praying for rescue or respite, basically, but not thinking that YOU are the one to do this for yourself. Don't rely on a savior coming for you. Don't think this will all just work itself out. Put your computer brain in motion and figure out some cunning solutions to this situation. And then put them in motion. You are the master strategist, bring all your skills to work.
Death is the shadow twin of life and therefore is always walking alongside us. We will all meet Death eventually. It's not something we typically spend our waking life thinking about, but even just a glimpse of the reaper can help wake us up to the fact that time is precious, short, and meant to be used. We are here to experience everything. Let recent events, in your personal life or on the news, be a nudge to yourself to get busy living, and living large. Release fears and inhibitions and barriers to doing things you want to explore and experience. Let this week be the beginning of simply living fully and like every day could be the last! What a ride you could have!
The Queen of Wands is your sign's queen as she represents the Fire element. Queens are always about making a leap, taking responsibility, stepping up, reaching for the next level. And Wands are all about passion, adventure, purpose, inspiration, creativity, vitality, and exploration. Travel, education, creative projects, and goal-setting all feel like areas to get into this week, and in a new way. You are not seeking help or being the apprentice any longer, you are the one creating the objectives, crafting the plan of action, and activating the steps and tactics to bring your vision to life. You are in control and taking ownership of making your life bigger, bolder, brighter, better by embracing the dynamic and purposeful energy of the Wands suit. BE the Queen of Wands this week.
Let the good times roll, Sag! The Ten of Pentacles is a celebration card, a pat on the back, and a well done for having completed a cycle of growth and achievement. Possibly linked to either health, wealth, work, or home. Jupiter rules your sign and is the bringer of good luck and fortune, so you perhaps have a head start on other signs, but you still did the tasks, made good choices, created positive energy, and achieved the goals. Time to recognize that, celebrate yourself, toast those who helped or supported you, and look ahead to your next cycle of growth. Now you know you can do this, what else could you do next?..
The Sun is the tarot's most positive card, a literal ray of sunshine peeping out and radiating its warmth and light over your realm. Turn your face towards it and enjoy the glow up! This is a week of reward, progress, celebration, happy happenings, and new prospects. Be confident and pursue your passions and interests. Look ahead and reach out for people, places, activities, roles or activities you want to attract into your life. You are going to discover all of the cleverness, charisma and persuasion to manifest your wildest dreams. In fact, the higher you aim, the better the outcome.
The Queen of Swords is your sign's queen because she rules the Air element. Therefore, she is intellectual, ambitious, calculating, communicative, imaginative, and progressive. Always restless, always seeking, always thinking. This matches your own energy right now. Something feels amiss or like it could be much better, and you're searching for ideas, solutions, and upgrades to fix the gap. I think this week will bring you the answer you're looking for. Keep researching and asking questions, it's your curiosity that will unlock the right answer. And this Queen will land it in a moment of crystal clear clarity in your mind, like a fully formed response ready to implement!
No harm in being a little discerning, self protective, elusive, and guarded this week. Sometimes it's good to take a small step back from folk who are maybe getting complacent or too reliant on you always being there for them. Some people need to figure things out for themselves rather than sucking the life force out of you so they can remain immersed and feeding on the problems they've have created. Just take care of yourself first, Pisces, because you're a giver, an empath, a helper and confidant, but this can mean you attract the energy vampires. One might be hovering!

Full Moon in Capricorn Horoscope
Full Moons are a time for releasing and relinquishing. If you have an excess in your life—emotional clutter, overcommitments, toxic attachments—this is the cosmic cue to drain it out. Whether through silent meditation, honest conversations, or grounding spiritual rituals, Full Moons offer us a ritual checkpoint to let go. July's Full Moon in Capricorn marks a key turning point, astrologically hinting that it's time to take control of your own evolution. Following Western astrology, these new and full Moon guides are monthly reminders to reset, reflect, and recommit to your path. Your horoscope is less of a prediction and more of a sacred prompt for self-inquiry. Hey bestie, it's your cosmic tour guide back again to decode what the f*ck is going on in our Solar System. TL;DR? Letting your emotions drive might take you somewhere fast, but they could detour you from where you actually need to go. On July 10, 2025, at 4:35 PM ET, the Moon in ambitious, self-determined Capricorn will oppose the Sun in tender, nurturing Cancer. This Full Moon in Capricorn, also known as the Buck Moon, has the rare power to whisper directly to your soul: It's time to step up and claim the version of you that's waiting on the other side of healing. But here's the plot twist: You'll have to rest to rise. Because Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, this Buck Moon won't just hand you your next level. It will demand that you prepare for it—spiritually, emotionally, energetically. Just be mindful of where you're pouring your energy. What seems like a reliable, proven path might actually be you stuck in a karmic loop. And patterns don't break themselves. That's why navigating this Buck Moon requires something radical: gentleness. Instead of forcing your way forward, try tending to the harsh inner voice that confuses toughness for strength. Stray away from the endless hustle, designer distractions, and status symbols. Choose instead to honor your tenderness. Honoring your softness is not weakness—it's strategy. Your ability to assertively preserve your vulnerability will be the very thing that gives you backbone when the New Moon in Leo hits later this month. Astrologically, this Full Moon trines the South Node in Virgo and sextiles the North Node in Pisces. Translation? You're being called to flow, not force. Returning to your intuition and offering your service with boundaries—not as a sacrifice, but as a gift—is one way to anchor yourself in authenticity. It's time to slow down so you can see yourself clearly. We live in a world that rewards burnout and glorifies over-functioning. But exhaustion isn't a badge of honor—it's a red flag. This Full Moon asks: how can you build the life of your dreams if you're too drained to dream? Even if summer feels like it's starting slow, this Buck Moon marks a potent shift. The universe is whispering: Self-care isn't a side quest—it's the actual plot. Below, read your horoscope based on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Read your Sun sign to gain insight into the version of yourself that you're maturing into. Read your Rising sign to reflect on your present state. And read your Moon sign for guidance on how to grow your inner child (no one is perfect). If you find your horoscope helpful, please share it and tag me on social media @monishaholmes. Is your throne built on a solid foundation, Aries? Trust the first answer that comes to mind, and work with your truth—not the performance of strength. If your inner world feels balanced, then allow yourself to actually enjoy the satisfaction that comes with stability. This Full Moon pickles us in whatever container we've chosen—so what are you marinating in? Let the pressure clarify your vision. You were destined to use your inner framework to shape and inspire the world around you. But there's one thing standing between you and flow: your grip on control. Letting your emotions take the lead isn't recklessness—it's art. And all great art requires you to take the mask off. You can't find your soul in a masquerade. It's time to slip out the back door and breathe. Before you transform just for the thrill of it, ask yourself what you're really becoming. Growth doesn't require reinvention if reinvention means abandoning yourself. The stars are aligning in favor of radical self-acceptance. My caution? Don't shapeshift to soothe others. What feels like service might actually be self-erasure. Choose you. As your birthday season deepens, this Moon invites you to double down on softness. Let your emotions slice through indecision like a sword made of water. Your sensitivity isn't a burden—it's your gift. Host a cookout. Hug a cousin. Wear your favorite outfit for no reason. You don't need perfect plans to live a beautiful life. You may need to pause and review your daily rituals, Leo. What feels like stagnation could actually be sacred recalibration. True growth often happens in the pause. Audit your calendar. Rework your habits. Self-discipline is self-love—but only when it's rooted in compassion, not shame. Remember: You're prepping for a season of expansion, not performing for an audience. Let go of the myth that you're only worthy when you're useful. Yes, you're brilliant, analytical, and hardworking. But you're also a creative soul who deserves joy for joy's sake. Text a friend. Go to a poetry slam. Paint badly. The path to wholeness isn't paved with productivity—it's paved with presence. Put the nostalgia down, love—it's clouding your view of what's possible. The past has already been written, but the future is still malleable. If you stop future-telling and start present-living, you might find that you're already in the process of becoming. You don't have to know everything to trust the path. Your desire to connect might place you in a space where you're overgiving to people who benefit from playing helpless. Be careful not to confuse support with self-sacrifice. If no one's asking for a lifeline, you don't need to throw one. Take a break. Drink something fruity. Let life teach you through sweetness, not just intensity. Reevaluating your values isn't betrayal—it's evolution. Growth doesn't mean selling out; it means expanding your definition of what matters. If your soul feels aligned, the resistance will fade. But if something feels off? Pause. Ask yourself if you're investing wisely or buying into someone else's vision of success. You're the main character this lunation, and your lesson is to not go full beast mode. This is about integrating your ambition with grace. Rest isn't weakness—it's fuel. Take stock: Is your grind rooted in joy or fear? Let your people love on you. Tenderness can sharpen your focus more than pressure ever will. You can't intellectualize your way into embodiment. You have a brilliant mind, but your nervous system needs attention, too. Your path to insight? Stillness. Clarity. A nervous system that feels safe enough to receive downloads. Start a mindful practice—even five minutes of silence a day could change your trajectory. You're dripping in divine wisdom, but before you teach others how to be more themselves, make sure you're showing up for your inner artist. That part of you that wants to dance, cry, sing, or rest. Set the boundary. Put your phone on Do Not Disturb. Make your self-expression a priority—not a side project.

Your Horoscope This Week: 6th To 12th July
Cosmic beings, we've officially stepped into uncharted territory, and it's electric. The first full week of July kicks off with a cosmic mic drop: Uranus enters Gemini on Sunday 7th July, for the first time since 1942. We're getting a four-month preview of what this revolutionary transit will bring when it returns long-term in April 2026. Uranus is the planet of upheaval, innovation, and revolution, and Gemini governs communication, technology and our minds. So if you've been feeling like you're on the edge of a new mental era, you're not wrong. This week delivers the first gust of that windswept change. Expect information overload, creative downloads, glitches in the matrix, and ideas that may feel too big for your current reality. Let them breathe. This isn't the time to solve it all… it's the time to observe. With Pluto in Aquarius (a sign ruled by Uranus), this shift isn't random, it's intentional. We're collectively leaning into a future that is more digital, more decentralised, more queer, and more liberated…but it requires massive unlearning. Gemini energy can feel scattered, so anchor yourself with daily rituals, breathwork, and boundaries with your screen time. Then on Thursday 10th July, a full moon in Capricorn shines a bright spotlight on where we've grown, and where we've stalled, since the Capricorn new moon back in January. Full moons bring culmination and Capricorn wants results. What have you been building? Whether it's a business, a relationship, or a sense of self, this moon can bring cosmic recognition, but only if you've been honest with your effort. Capricorn doesn't reward hustle for hustle's sake; it celebrates integrity, discipline, and vision. Pause. Reflect. Celebrate your wins. The very next day, on Friday 11th July, Juno, the asteroid of commitment and soul contracts, ends its retrograde in Scorpio, helping us gain clarity around relationship dynamics that felt murky or manipulative. Themes around loyalty, power, and emotional depth may rise to the surface. What (or who) are you ready to commit to now that you've seen the shadow and the light? And lastly, we're entering the pre-shadow of Saturn's retrograde in Aries (which begins 13th July), joining Neptune's retrograde in the same fire sign. The cosmos is whispering: it's time to get serious about your healing and your autonomy. How do you lead yourself when the path ahead isn't clear? You've got this. Aries Sun & Rising: Welcome to your communication revolution, Aries. With Uranus, the planet of surprise, entering Gemini on 7/7 and activating your sector of learning, expression, and tech, it's giving 'new podcast, who dis?' vibes. Your mind is on fire — not with burnout, but with brilliance. This week launches a four-month preview of the wild upgrades coming to how you think, teach, write, and connect. Don't be surprised if you suddenly feel called to return to an old writing project or speak up about something you've been quiet on. And then the Capricorn full moon hits your public image sector like a cosmic mic drop on 10th July. Whether it's a career breakthrough, a leadership role, or finally cutting ties with a profession you've outgrown, you're stepping into your next legacy era. But honour the effort that got you here… don't skip the celebration part just because you're onto the next. On the 11th, Juno in Scorpio shifting direct brings clarity to your relationships: is this partnership helping you thrive or just taking up space? And with Saturn's retrograde starting in your sign on the 13th, a new level of maturity is being summoned. Be gentle with yourself. Growth is happening in layers, and you're at the threshold of your next personal power era. Ever since May 2018, you've been changed from the inside out, and now Uranus enters Gemini and lights up your money and values sector. Surprise income, surprise expenses, surprise realisations about what actually makes you feel secure — it's all fair game during this preview stretch. You might feel a magnetic pull toward new ways of making or managing your money, especially ones that involve technology, communication, or community. By the time the full moon in Capricorn arrives on 10th July, something you've been learning or teaching could come full circle. Expect a 'wow, I've grown' moment tied to publishing, long-term travel, or spiritual studies. If you've been dreaming of launching something global or going back to school, this moon gives you the green light. And on the 11th, Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your relationship sector helps you reflect on what 'ride or die' actually means to you now. As Saturn in Aries preps to retrograde in your healing sector on the 13th, start decluttering your emotional space. You've outgrown more than just an old income bracket, you've outgrown survival mode. Gemini, let's talk about Uranus entering your sign on 7/7 for the first time since 1942?! It's giving shock-to-the-system, but in the best kind of way. This four-month preview of Uranus in Gemini is going to radically remix your identity, appearance, and overall vibe. Think: main character upgrade, plot twist edition. You may suddenly want to change your name, your style, your social media presence. And, honestly, we support it. The old you was great, but the new you is free. Then comes the Capricorn full moon lighting up your intimacy sector on 10th July, helping you shed fear around vulnerability and deepen your commitments, to yourself, to another, to your healing. Something you've been working on behind the scenes might now be ready to come to light. On the 11th, Juno in Scorpio shifting direct clears the fog in your wellness and boundary routines. No more gaslighting yourself about what you need. And with Saturn in Aries preparing to begin its retrograde in your sector of purpose and social impact, it's time to get real about the legacy you're building. Don't over-plan it, just feel into what your soul keeps whispering when the noise dies down. You're feeling the buzz, Cancer, but also the bittersweet vibes. On 7/7, Uranus in Gemini is moving into your sector of closure, solitude, and subconscious processing, it's the secret garden of your chart. Over the next four months, unexpected dreams, déjà vu, or intuitive flashes may become more frequent. You may crave more alone time, or suddenly realise something you've been holding onto has expired. Let yourself rest, reflect, and release. The Capricorn full moon on 10th July illuminates your relationship zone, and a significant turning point may arrive. Whether it's choosing to walk away, walk toward, or stand still in radical self-love, you'll know. And Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your sector of passion, creativity, and romance helps you clarify who (and what) really turns you on — not just in lust, but in purpose. With Neptune already retrograde in Aries and Saturn about to join in your career zone, it's okay to reimagine the path forward. You don't have to be who you were last season. The new you is growing in silence, preparing to bloom louder than ever come Leo season. Leo, just when you thought your mind couldn't get any louder, Uranus, the planet of surprise, slides into Gemini and lights up your sector of community, social networks, and long-term dreams, turning the volume all the way up. But instead of overwhelm, try curiosity. This four-month preview is like a group chat with the future version of you: bolder, weirder, and more unapologetic than ever. You're being asked to question who you surround yourself with, what causes you care about, and how you show up in public spaces. Then on 10th July, the Capricorn full moon lights up your wellness sector, reminding you to check in with your physical, mental, and emotional routines. If you've been pushing through burnout, the moon says pause. Recalibrate. Celebrate the rituals that are helping you thrive, and gently release the ones that aren't. On the 11th, Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your home sector brings clarity around family dynamics or a living situation that's been in limbo. And with Neptune already retrograde in Aries and Saturn about to join in your expansion sector, this is a powerful moment to upgrade how you receive — not just love, but support, pleasure, and presence. You're allowed to want more. You're also allowed to protect your peace as you figure out what 'more' means. Virgo Sun & Rising: Virgo, can we get a round of applause? Uranus, the planet of surprise, enters Gemini on 7/7 and activates your career and legacy sector for the first time in more than 80 years, giving your public life a total glow-up. This is your four-month taste of what will become a seven-year revolution; in how you lead, in how you're seen, in what you want your impact to be. Unexpected opportunities could drop into your lap, or you may feel a pull to completely change your path. Trust it. Then the Capricorn full moon on 10th July illuminates your sector of romance, creativity, and joy. Something you started six months ago, maybe a relationship, an art project, or a new pleasure practice, could now come to a peak. Celebrate what you've nurtured. Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your communication zone helps you say what you've been holding in. Expect breakthroughs through deep conversation or even a journal session that feels like therapy. And with Saturn in Aries' retrograde about to begin in your intimacy sector, you're being called to reflect on your relationship patterns with honesty and grace. Who do you become when you're in love? Or when you're collaborating in business? And are you proud of that version of you? Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. Libra Sun & Rising: Pack your cosmic carry-on, Libra: Uranus is now entering Gemini, highlighting your sector of long-distance travel, higher learning, and expansion. This is not just 'new chapter' energy, it's 'new book, new genre' energy. The next four months are a preview of the adventures, awakenings, and plot twists that want to find you (as long as you don't cling to your old outline). You may be drawn to unexpected teachers, spiritual practices, or belief systems that help you see life through a brand new lens. On 10th July, the full moon in Capricorn activates your home and family sector, bringing closure or breakthroughs around how you care for your inner child, and your physical space. Don't be afraid to say no to environments that drain you. The next day, Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your finance zone helps clear the fog around money matters or long-term investments. And with Neptune retrograde already underway and Saturn in Aries about to follow in your wellness sector, it's time to get real about your energy bandwidth. You can't pour from an empty cup, and you sure as hell don't need to keep refilling everyone else's. Scorpio Sun & Rising: Plot twist, Scorpio: Uranus enters Gemini this week, on 7/7, stimulating your sector of depth, intimacy, and soul bonds, and things are about to get spicy, electric, and a little unpredictable. The next four months bring a sample of what your shadow work, sex life, and shared resources could look like in a whole new dimension. People from your past could reappear. New partners could shake up your emotional world in ways that make you rethink what vulnerability even means. It's giving erotic evolution. Then the Capricorn full moon on 10th July activates your communication zone, bringing important conversations or decisions to a head. Something you've been processing behind the scenes is now ready to be expressed. Whether it's through a heart-to-heart or a creative outlet, your voice wants to be heard. The asteroid Juno shifting direct in your sign on the 11th restores clarity around who you're becoming in love and in life. You've had to shape-shift: now you get to return to yourself. And with Saturn in Aries preparing to join Neptune in its retrograde in your creativity and self-expression sector, the second half of the month will invite a reevaluation of how and why you create. The question isn't 'Am I good enough?' It's 'Am I being true to myself enough?' Sagittarius Sun & Rising: Sag, you're no stranger to change, but Uranus entering Gemini on 7/7 and lighting up your partnership sector is a whole new level of 'plot twist.' Over the next four months, your one-on-one dynamics — romantic, platonic, and professional — may shift in surprising ways. Think soul contracts being renegotiated, unexpected attractions, breakups that feel like breakthroughs, or finally meeting someone who matches your weird. This isn't about chaos for chaos' sake. It's about liberation through honesty. Then on 10th July, the Capricorn full moon lights up your money sector, showing you how far you've come in reclaiming your worth. You might land a new gig, raise, or epiphany about what you actually want to build long-term. Juno shifting direct in your spirituality zone the next day helps you reconnect with your intuition. Your inner compass gets stronger the quieter you become. And with Neptune retrograde in Aries already unraveling the myths in your sector of fun and fate, and Saturn about to retrograde in your sector of creativity, this week asks you to slow down just enough to hear your truth echoing back. You're not lost, you're in transit. The new version of you deserves new kinds of love, too. Capricorn, your daily life is about to get a cosmic remix. Uranus in Gemini enters your wellness and routines sector on 7/7, shaking up how you structure your day-to-day. This is the beginning of a four-month preview (and eventually a seven-year journey) where you learn to work smarter, not harder. New health routines, work dynamics, or even spiritual habits may surprise you, but they'll also elevate you. The key? Stay flexible without sacrificing your peace. Then, your annual full moon arrives on 10th July, and whew… she's powerful. This is your spotlight moment. Something you've been quietly building since January is blooming into visibility. Celebrate your growth and don't minimise your evolution. Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your community sector helps you feel reconnected to the people who get you. And as your ruler Saturn prepares to retrograde in Aries, activating your home zone you may be challenged to express boundaries more clearly — especially within your family or living situation. Don't worry if you feel more sensitive than usual. You're not unraveling. You're recalibrating for your next mountain climb. Aquarius, Uranus, your ruling planet, enters Gemini on 7/7, activating your sector of romance, creativity, and joy from now until November. Translation? Everything you thought you knew about love, art, and pleasure is getting a reboot. Over the next four months, expect to be surprised by what (and who) turns you on, lights you up, or reawakens your muse. This transit is a big deal for you. It's asking you to stop overthinking and start feeling. On 10th July, the full moon in Capricorn illuminates your healing and closure zone, asking you to release something you've been carrying for too long. A burden, a pattern, a grudge, a grief… let it breathe, and let it go. Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your career sector clears the fog around your professional partnerships and public identity. Pisces Sun & Rising: Get ready to shift the entire foundation of your life, Pisces. Uranus, the wild card planet, just entered Gemini and is activating your home and roots sector for the first time in over 80 years. From now through November, you're getting a preview of what it looks like to redefine 'home' on your own terms. That could mean moving, reshuffling family dynamics, or deep revelations about your lineage and ancestry. Expect the unexpected, but also expect breakthroughs that free you. Then the Capricorn full moon on July 10th brings your friendship and community sector into the spotlight. You might realise which bonds have truly stood the test of time, and which ones have quietly expired. Juno in Scorpio shifting direct in your exploration and travel zone reawakens your hunger for meaning and adventure. You're starting to crave more from life than just routine. And with Neptune currently retrograde in your sign (and Saturn soon to follow on the 13th), you're seeing through illusions with X-ray vision. What you once tolerated is no longer acceptable. What you once feared is now just… not that deep. You're stepping into a more honest and grounded version of yourself. Make room for them.

Your Tarot Reading for the Week of July 7
You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let's go! Uranus moves into Gemini this week (for the first time since 1949) and we encounter a Full Moon in Capricorn. Both feel like a performance review from the Universe, a chance to audit where we're at, and create some stretching, personal goals for the future that build on successes, embrace collaboration, and make use of the latest tools and technology at our disposal. The Eight of Wands agrees with this plan and suggests asking folk for feedback as part of your personal audit. Be in and among colleagues, mentors, family or friends, ask people to be honest about what they think of you, your strengths, what they value most, what they'd do if they could hop in and 'drive you' for a month, and where they see you doing, being, and feeling your best. Feedback doesn't ALL have to be taken on board. But it sure is interesting. And you're definitely going to learn something new. Jump in! The Knight of Wands belongs to you, he is your champion if you like, because he represents the Fire element. So, set him to work! His key traits are courage, adventurousness, confidence. He loves learning, traveling, exploring, experimenting. And he can also be rash, impulsive, a teeny bit arrogant, and cavalier. Use his presence to push on a restriction you feel thwarted by, try something daring and new, book a solo trip or event that only you long to do, or take a chance and apply for something you might worry is out of your league. If you lean on him, he will carry you, possibly to places you would never normally go! Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, often triggered by smell or sound, an old song maybe or the scent of perfume or even food. Something will trigger nostalgia for you this week, Taurus, and it will ignite a series of magical events that conspire to return something, or someone, to your life. This is like a spell or enchantment, woven by the Universe, just for you. The unseen forces are friendly and positive, they are trying to restore a broken bond or lost love that still merits a place in your realm. So let them do their work! Expect to be amazed. You will take whatever life lands in your zone on the chin this week, and walk on with your head still held high, because Geminis are naturally regal! And, better yet, you will immediately look for silver linings and life lessons, because Geminis are naturally may go awry or be lost to you. This is part of the story, this is the plot twist perhaps, the challenge that activates a new idea, opinion, direction or opportunity with you. One thing I know, being an old Gemini myself, is that when we are dealt a poor hand it actually fuels us to prove them ALL wrong and win the game, with flair too! So, so shock them all. Turn lemons into a lemonade empire! It's a week of total and utter self-reflection and awareness. Who are you? What karma have you sown? What situations are you embroiled with? If someone secretly watched you for a whole week, what would they assume your purpose and goals were? Are you side-stepping what you ought to, and want to, be doing? Judgment pulls no punches. But this mini kind of Saturn Return energy is worthwhile. Face yourself, fully and unashamedly, and know who you are and where you are at, and what therefore you want to change, refocus on, amplify, stop, start, and support. This is a reality check. We are inching closer to Leo season and already the vibes are swirling! The Three of Pentacles brings admiration, praise, and recognition. All of which is sweet music to your lion-y ears! Lean into this energy by collaborating, partnering, allying, and sharing. Start joint projects, shared ambitions. Enter competitions or challenges. Seek out a sounding board and creative partner for your work ideas or tasks. Everything can be bigger and better when you hook up with the right folk. And this week will bring them to you! Just sit back and watch that queue form for you! Virgo, you are in danger of falling into the quicksand of the Seven of Cups which represents daydreaming without traction or action, wishing but not manifesting, hoping but not taking ownership. Praying for rescue or respite, basically, but not thinking that YOU are the one to do this for yourself. Don't rely on a savior coming for you. Don't think this will all just work itself out. Put your computer brain in motion and figure out some cunning solutions to this situation. And then put them in motion. You are the master strategist, bring all your skills to work. Death is the shadow twin of life and therefore is always walking alongside us. We will all meet Death eventually. It's not something we typically spend our waking life thinking about, but even just a glimpse of the reaper can help wake us up to the fact that time is precious, short, and meant to be used. We are here to experience everything. Let recent events, in your personal life or on the news, be a nudge to yourself to get busy living, and living large. Release fears and inhibitions and barriers to doing things you want to explore and experience. Let this week be the beginning of simply living fully and like every day could be the last! What a ride you could have! The Queen of Wands is your sign's queen as she represents the Fire element. Queens are always about making a leap, taking responsibility, stepping up, reaching for the next level. And Wands are all about passion, adventure, purpose, inspiration, creativity, vitality, and exploration. Travel, education, creative projects, and goal-setting all feel like areas to get into this week, and in a new way. You are not seeking help or being the apprentice any longer, you are the one creating the objectives, crafting the plan of action, and activating the steps and tactics to bring your vision to life. You are in control and taking ownership of making your life bigger, bolder, brighter, better by embracing the dynamic and purposeful energy of the Wands suit. BE the Queen of Wands this week. Let the good times roll, Sag! The Ten of Pentacles is a celebration card, a pat on the back, and a well done for having completed a cycle of growth and achievement. Possibly linked to either health, wealth, work, or home. Jupiter rules your sign and is the bringer of good luck and fortune, so you perhaps have a head start on other signs, but you still did the tasks, made good choices, created positive energy, and achieved the goals. Time to recognize that, celebrate yourself, toast those who helped or supported you, and look ahead to your next cycle of growth. Now you know you can do this, what else could you do next?.. The Sun is the tarot's most positive card, a literal ray of sunshine peeping out and radiating its warmth and light over your realm. Turn your face towards it and enjoy the glow up! This is a week of reward, progress, celebration, happy happenings, and new prospects. Be confident and pursue your passions and interests. Look ahead and reach out for people, places, activities, roles or activities you want to attract into your life. You are going to discover all of the cleverness, charisma and persuasion to manifest your wildest dreams. In fact, the higher you aim, the better the outcome. The Queen of Swords is your sign's queen because she rules the Air element. Therefore, she is intellectual, ambitious, calculating, communicative, imaginative, and progressive. Always restless, always seeking, always thinking. This matches your own energy right now. Something feels amiss or like it could be much better, and you're searching for ideas, solutions, and upgrades to fix the gap. I think this week will bring you the answer you're looking for. Keep researching and asking questions, it's your curiosity that will unlock the right answer. And this Queen will land it in a moment of crystal clear clarity in your mind, like a fully formed response ready to implement! No harm in being a little discerning, self protective, elusive, and guarded this week. Sometimes it's good to take a small step back from folk who are maybe getting complacent or too reliant on you always being there for them. Some people need to figure things out for themselves rather than sucking the life force out of you so they can remain immersed and feeding on the problems they've have created. Just take care of yourself first, Pisces, because you're a giver, an empath, a helper and confidant, but this can mean you attract the energy vampires. One might be hovering!
